Basic Research Blurb Directions - Find the topics in another drop down on this tab.
Put the title of your research and your name at the top of the page.
Go on the web and find CREDIBLE resources for information about your topic. Cut and paste your research including pics, capturing the URL for each source that you use. Yes, you cut and paste. WOW! Yes, you can. Honors students will need a minimum of 3- 4 credible resources. Regular needs but 2.
After cutting and pasting the research, the last thing you need on your page is your PERSONAL COMMENTARY or PERSONAL RESPONSE to your research. Here you will summarize the “cool” or interesting things that you have discovered about your topic in your own words. This is where you tell me what you learned. You may use “I” but make sure you capitalize it. Use good grammar, spelling, and follow punctuation rules. You should NOT cut and paste anything here. Minimally, this should be 5 - 7 great sentences. Short, choppy sentences will not be counted. Typically, Honors students write about a half page. Regular students write a good paragraph.
